Honestly, $18k isnt exactly crazy for the car. You figured, RB26s still go for $5k, put in the work into rebuilding the engine, figured about $1500-1800 parts and labor. Then you cost in the labor to swap it in and the parts for that, you're looking at easily $5-6k depending on the shop. So just the engine swapped in, you're looking at easily $12k. RB26 isnt one of the cheaper swaps. Looking at his parts list if bough new, upgraded suspension, JDM body parts, electronic parts like PFC/AVCR, gauges, wideband, rims, etc...easily another $6k on those.
